Art & Photography

There is something about the art of Paul Klee that is positively ingratiating. We find ourselves smiling at an image, laughing at the accompanying title, giddy with the overall effect. A Child's Game conveys the delight of a young girl running through a garden with a goose. Genie Serving a Light Breakfast is a humorous ditty revealing Klee's idiosyncratic world of fantasy. Dance, You Monster, To My Soft Song! conveys the absurdity of a tiny pianist trying to direct an enormous floating balloon man. And in The Creator, the artist's playfulness even extends to how he imagines the Godhead — hovering in the pink cosmos with arms spread and garments flowing as if in a dance.
